I know what your thinking. "Great, yet another schmuck who wants to 'speak' on leadership. Next, he's going to say why he's different than all the rest." Well, what I can say is that you will not regret hiring me.

While I am new on gigmasters, I have been a business owner/entrepreneur since 1990 and have been studying (and practicing) what makes a great leader since then. I GUARANTEE if you book me, you will not be disappointed.

My message is an inside out look at leaders and their struggles. Rather than stating "here are the 7 things a leader does, I tell engaging and entertaining stories of real successes and failures that everyone can relate to and learn from. I have read most of the great books on leadership. My biggest lessons, however, have not come from reading a book (although there are certainly many that I recommend). Instead, the best teacher has been my leadership failures, and trust me, I have plenty of them, most of which have made it into my speeches. After hearing just a couple of them, you will see that I am, after 20 years, still learning what it means to be a leader. I am a fellow human being who (in my case) often failed his way into leadership and success.

My topics include "The Human Leader: Stories of leadership in the trenches", Why Change Fails: What Psychologists know and won't tell you.", "Why vulnerable leaders are more successful." All topics can be keynotes or workshops. Thank you for reading this whole thing. Let me know how I can help you.
